In a bid to ensure peaceful celebrations of Durga puja and to monitor the movement of the strangers and vehicles, Siliguri Metropolitan Police (SMP) have installed at vigil installations, entry and exit points of the pandals in Siliguri. Alarmed by recent instances of communal violence during Ganesh Puja festivity, the Siliguri Police have prepared a standard operating procedure (SOP) to thwart such possible skirmishes during Durga Puja. Puja organisers and police authorities jointly installed several CCTV cameras at most of the pandals.
